Tap Absolute Beginners

Class description: Unleash your inner Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers in classic Broadway style.

It uses taps to beat out rhythms and can be danced either without music We cover all the basic steps, learn how to dance in time to music and how to memorise and perform routines.

Who is it for? Adults of all ages, beginners welcome

What should I wear? Loose comfortable clothing and tap shoes if you have them. If not you can hire them from Dance City if we have your size. In case there is no availability bring comfortable, clean shoes which will not damage the floor for example trainers. It is recommended that if you want to attend on a regular basis you hire or buy tap shoes.
